Who are the REAL Eco-terrorists, “TransCanada?!” “Eco-terrorism” is a word made up by the U.S. and Canadian Governments that is a contradictory term! “Eco” means habitat or environment, and “terrorism” is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. Peaceful protests and contacting your elected officials to ensure the safety and preservation of the environment, to include the people and wildlife in it, are called for by a plethora of environmentally-friendly organizations like the Sierra Club, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and the Rainforest Action Network. You cannot call these and dozens of other “eco-friendly,” grassroots organizations and millions of their supporters “eco-terrorists!” The TRUE “eco-terrorists” are the governments, including politicians, and the corporations (that run such governments through lobbyist money and bribery) who purposely destroy our environment for nothing more than pure GREED and power-hungriness! “Eco-terrorism” is a corporate-political process that uses fear tactics such as surveillance, unwarranted arrests and even cold-blooded murder to achieve its goal of human rights suppression for regional or global dominance!- John Loeffler, Fountain City, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Further, the language in some of the documents is so vague that it could also ensnare journalists, researchers and academics, as well.

TransCanada also built a roster of names and photos of specific individuals involved in organizing against the pipeline, including 350.org‘s Rae Breaux, Rainforest Action Network‘s Scott Parkin and Tar Sands Blockade‘s Ron Seifert. Further, every activist ever arrested protesting the pipeline’s southern half is listed by name with their respective photo shown, along with the date of arrest.

French biochemist and Shamengo pioneer Pierre Calleja has invented this impressive streetlight that is powered by algae which absorbs CO2 from the air. This one takes out 1 ton (!) of CO2 per year. This is as much CO2 as as a tree absorbs on average during its entire life!

I often laugh when I hear the U.S. Government call environmentalists “Eco-terrorists!” This is a complete contradiction of two separate terms! “Eco” is used as a prefix for words that relate to ecology or to the environment. We all know what a “terrorist” is. One cannot be Eco-friendly and a “terrorist” at the same time! People who are Eco-friendly are called “Conservationists” NOT “terrorists!” Leave it to our federal govt. to twist words around, and make them out to be what they are truly not! People that fit the term “Eco-terrorism” would be federal government officials, politicians, Big Oil, Coal & Natural Gas, pro-frackers and pro-GMO people! In other words, those that are the ones who are actually destroying our environment instead of trying to preserve or conserve it! But, that’s just my opinion!
